March 2, 2005 -- Investigators looking into insider-trading allegations in the blockbuster deal between Howard Stern and Sirius Radio are checking out reported boasts by the shock jock's limo driver that he profited from the deal, The Post has learned.

The announcement last Oct. 5 that Stern would ditch Infinity Broadcasting for Sirius sent shares of the satellite broadcaster skyrocketing.

The next day, Stern said on-air that his driver, Ronnie Mund — known on the show as "Ronnie the limo driver" — bragged in the studio about how he had bought Sirius stock cheap before his boss joined the company.

The Securities and Exchange Commission apparently took notice, and sources say the feds are trying to determine if Mund had inside information about the deal.

PreDICKshun:
Howie will draw about the same low numbers as his oft-publicized "shwanz" length when he gets on the satty...as it takes very little talent to actually say the "F" word (but a huge lot of talent and make listeners laugh when he gets the point across without resorting to offensive verbal histrionics)...
